Investment Portfolio Optimization with a Mean-Variance Model Without Risk-Free Assets

Abstract

Investment is an allocation of money, stocks, mutual funds, or other valuable resources provided by someone at the present time and held from being used until a specified period to get a profit (return). The higher the return received, the higher the risk. This study studied the Mean-Variance investment portfolio optimization model without risk-free assets to obtain the optimum portfolio. Five shares are used, namely BMRI, AMRT, SSMS, MLPT, and ANTM. The research results obtained optimal portfolio stocks with respective weights BMRI = 0.45741; AMRT=0.17852; SSMS=0.23300; MLPT=0.08475 and ANTM=0.04632. An optimal portfolio composition produces an average return = 0.00207 and variance = 0.00020.
